A geek and a father tries to empty out the mess that is his brain. Watch your step - it’s messy in here…
I love laptops.
I used to hate them – when I had to fix them. But nowadays I just get good warranties. The perks of how and where you can use laptops are just too friggin good.
Case in point:
I’m in bed. Naked. Lying on my side, typing in the dark.
My beautiful wife has her bare breasts [...]
OK – another cheat.
I had to update my resume today.
Well, skew my resume.
When they are wanting to send you off on a new contract, sometimes you get to “emphasize the relevant”. In other words, add a bunch of bullshit to make you sound more like the person they are looking for. I know – everyone [...]

Yup.
Black holes and sugar.
Two concepts that have shaken my world in the past few years.
Actually, it’s time dilation and articifial sweetener. But that makes for a shitty title, doesn’t it?
I’ll start with sugar. Or the lack thereof.
I’m not much on conspiracy theories.
Most people who want to do bad [...]

Gmail rules. Just friggin rules. I’m sure most of you know what it is, but for those who don’t, it’s Google’s email system. I’ll spare you the majority the geek stuff, but it’s at 2.6 GB of storage space and growing, it automatically saves back-and-forth e-mail conversations [...]

This was one strange week.
But it’s done.
Mostly, it’s a good thing.
It started last weekend with a friend of mine’s wedding getting canceled at the last minute.
Technically, I guess, he’s my sister’s friend, but still, he’s a close acquaintance. And I’ve known him for at least a decade.
Semantics.
This guy [...]
OK – I’m cheating on this one.
Normally I type these out especially for the blog.
This story, though, I have told many a time.
So I pulled it out of an e-mail, and cleaned it up for public scrutiny.
Some of you have heard it, so feel free to move along and save a few minutes of your [...]
This is still so weird.
I have nothing to say.
Nothing important at least.
But I’m going to anyway, I guess.
Big surprise, eh?
I’m pretty relaxed. Life is good.
I’m back on the couch again.
Green Day was on FuseTV on satellite TV in concert.
I love most of the new stuff just as much as the old. Maybe I’ll mature a [...]
This is an odd place.
I guess I should narrow that down a bit, eh?
How about good old planet Earth.
Actually that’s not really that odd. I know a lot of people are still convinced we are in some unique place in the universe. I like Carl Sagan’s view on that. Billions of galaxies, each with billions [...]
There are days when it feels like my head is going to pop.
Pow.
Boom.
Tears of blood.
Cracks in my skull.
Brain going thud thud thud.
It’s not pain, exactly. Just noise.
And it’s not loud noise. More like quantity.
I’ll start thinking about this, then move on to that.
But the first doesn’t really go away. My brain keeps going.
So I’m thinking [...]
